Lindsay Lohan: I should've heeded advice

In her Playboy pictorial and interview, cover-girl Lindsay Lohan says she accepts responsibility for her actions and wishes she'd heeded advice.

"My stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way," the troubled actress, 25, said in interview excerpts released over the weekend. "During the past five years, I've learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.

"Ultimately we are each responsible for ourselves and for our actions," added Lohan, who is doing court-ordered community service stemming from 2007 DUI convictions. "Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom I admire and would have followed through with it more."

Posing for a nude pictorial, which the actress also did for legendary photographer Bert Stern in a 2008 layout for New York magazine, is empowering, Lohan said. "It's a very male-dominated world to begin with, so knowing yourself and being comfortable with your body is an important thing for me as a woman," since "it gives you confidence, and in life, women need confidence."

The photos from the January/February issue currently are available to subscribers to Playboy's online site. The magazine moved up the print publication date to this Thursday from late December following a hacker's leaking the issue to the file-storage site Worldmags.net on Friday, said FoxNews.com. On Sunday, there was no indication of that issue at the Ukraine-based site.

Lohan, who was raised in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor, has been vacationing in Hawaii, where her purse was stolen Saturday, reported TMZ.com. While the site said her passport and other important documents were taken, her spokesman, Steve Honig, told Newsday Sunday that the "purse was stolen, then recovered minus the cash."
